'Breaking Bad' last night: A new high point for this great show?

Last night's Breaking Bad was more explosive than an RV meth-lab driving into a burning building. It was also one of the most beautiful-looking hours on TV this season.

The pre-credits sequence, in which we saw a flashback to the murderous cousins who've been tracking Bryan Cranston's Walt as little boys, was a sun-flare bright sequence that set up the origin of these two, with Tuco Salamanca uttering the words that guided their present-day revenge quest: 'Family is all.' So it is with Walt and his brother-in-law, Hank (the superlative Dean Norris).
